listmembers may be profiled in the book.

economist to afford your own copy!)

NOTE1: DO NOT COUNT ON THE DATES INDICATED FOR
PUBLISHING! PUBLISHERS, ESPECIALLY ACADEMIC
PUBLISHERS, ARE NOTORIOUS FOR NOT RELEASING
BOOKS ON TIME!
NOTE2: YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET A COPY OF THIS
CATALOG AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER TITLES OF
INTEREST, e.g.
* THE LEGACY OF PIERRO SRAFFA
Edited by Heinz Kurz and Neri Salvadori
Of the 9 contributors, none are listmembers -- but
they found space for a contribution by Samuelson.
Two volume set July 2002 1,376 pp HB
1 84064 439 7 $430.00 [!]
NOTE3: Who can afford some of these titles? I suspect
that, for example, there are some supporters of 'Analytical
Marxism' who can't afford their own copy of the 1994 2-
volume set edited by J.E. Roemer FOUNDATIONS OF
ANALYTICAL MARXISM. Selling price is $340.00.
At that price, many (most?) scholars AND LIBRARIES
in most parts of the world can't afford a copy. Yet, if
we can't get copies of important scholarly books and
journals EVEN AT LIBRARIES then how can we keep
up with the literature in our field? It seems to me that this
(re) creates a two-tier system of HAVES and HAVE
NOTS in the academic and scholarly world community.

Are there any up-coming books to be published by other
publishers that we should be aware of?
